[~Roller Coaster Junkie~]

Dude, you got skills.

A 10 because of its outstanding originality and randomness, its superb recording and melody. Your voice is perfect for this type of song, and I am very impressed by the whole song, overall.
Just a little thing you got to fix, though. There is about 30 seconds of complete silence at the end. Trim it off; it's unnecessary.
Other than that, I think I've said enough. Great melody, theme, voice, and everything was in sync. I don't think I heard a single thing wrong.
Excellent! I just voted you 5. Didn't make much of a difference, though, since you're currently at a 4.85
XD

Done! Thanks heaps for letting me know - I accidentally left it running and forgot to snip!
:)
Glad you like the song though ;)
Cheers!

[Gracious Winter]

Ambience at its best.

At first, the bird chirping was getting a little extra, but now I realized that was pointless to say. Anyhow.
The bass was PERFECT. Not too loud, but definitely nicely put in to be recognized and appreciated.
I love the overall vibe of the song, although it doesn't really make me thinking of winter at first. I guess it's the birds..there's really none in winter.
Anyway, this is very nicely put together, it's soothing, and the rhythm is nice and easygoing. The piano was smooth, and the flute? I love to death. Amazing work, very professional sounding. You have my 5.

NemesisTheory responds:

Much love! I hear birds sometime during the winter early in the morning, but maybe I was insane those days. Could've been that just as easily, tbh.

I'm glad you dug the song! I should do something like this again soon... <3

[I'm Going to Kill You]

You've already brought the funk, dude.

This is probably the best I've heard in a while. Very professionally funk sounding ;D
And the theme? I cannot not love. This hath stopped me from doing my hmwrk. Which is good and bad, lol.
Don't let the funk stop! ;D
-Vesta J

Bezo responds:

Well, I can't take credit for the instrumental backing, due to the Magic Garage Band nature of it, but I appreciate the chance to disrupt your education. Thanks a lot.

[Close Ur Eyes]

very nice.

the piano was the best part, and the pads in the background definitely added a soothing feel to it, kind of forcing you to relax
>:D lol
Teh guitars especially make it a homey feeling..it feels..really disarming. Makes me think of exploration, walking through a garden of memories :D
Nice work, I'm glad I came across this :)
-Vesta J

VenoMuk responds:

Thanks, that was the effect i was going for when i made this song, im glad you enjoyed it thanks for the review!

[Reasoner- Approaching The Sun]

now 4.54!

Yay, my vote counts so much xD
Anyway, I was looking in the ambience section and I was like, oh! It's Reasoner again. Lemme check this track out.
And guess what? Outstanding work, AGAIN. I think what you really accomplished here was the steady tempo along with a natural, carefree piano in sync. It sounds like exploration...made me think of open space; either in water, space, or spring fields. But more the former two.
So like I said, creating a certain mood and a smooth melody seems to come quite naturally to you. I'm amazed at your work, you are now in my favs O_O
Lol, I don't usually state that plainly.
Anyhow. Au revoir, ciao, adios, namaste, good day ":D
-Vesta J

Reasoner responds:

Thanks for the in depth reviews on all of my songs. I appreciate you taking the time to critique them and hope they have taken your thoughts away from reality for at least a few minutes.

[Reasoner- Instrumental #4]

haha

Another 10! So far this is my 4th review, I think..
My, I must really add you to my favorites since I keep coming back to your songs. Like after the first one, ?I decided not to. But then I did. And then again. And now.
T.T
LOL back to the review. Another impressive one, I like the theme you have here too, buddy. And how dare you call yourself an amateur composer..?! To me, I am an amateur. You're close to professional.. at least in the type of music that you work with.
I foured the first two songs, but now I'm reconsidering. That's why this one and the last one I fived. Because it makes sense :D
I guess I have nothing else to say for this amazingness..
-Vesta J

Reasoner responds:

I appreciate the compliment, but as long as my writings continue to be on my weekends, and not as a way of life I'm afraid I'm going to have to list myself as amateur. Thanks for the five and five. Whoot whoot!

[Reasoner- -_Lost_-]

Ahh..

The oboe screwed with my mind a little o.o
..maybe its just because its late.. but I just wanted to choke that little thing >:(
The piano was nice and moving-->no long notes, I mean. But then the oboe (i'm pretty sure..or is it a flute?) had to come in and make longer notes, which frustrated me, because I guess all I'm searching for right now is just some piano, lol
I didn't let all that prevent me from rating this any less than a 10, because this is pretty much flawless. I try to review based on quality, melody, originality, and theme ^^' ..so I think I did a good one, here!
Overall, excellent job, my friend!
-Vesta J

Reasoner responds:

I chose the oboe specifically to screw with your mind lol. No actually I chose it because I chose a flute for my other track and I was trying to diversify. "Problem solved," I said. "Oboe it is!"

[Reasoner- Tracing Back]

nah, this doesn't seem ambient.

AHH! I just got to 1:39...I think my ears are bleeding a little..
X(
I can easily say the beginning part was the best. It was just so.. awesome!
And yeah, I can sort of see this in either techno, miscellaneous, or maybe even trance. But yeah, this place needs an electronica section :/
Now, don't get me wrong, the melodies were good, but once it got all electronica on me, I backed off a little. It kinda threw me off..but this is pretty genius if you think about it, anyway. Well, YOU wouldn't have to--you made this :P
Because all the complicated and simple parts come together and you never really realize how hard you work sometimes.. unless its just me :|
Nevertheless, it's not a bad song. I guess this just isn't really my type :/
-Vesta J

Reasoner responds:

We all just need to write to tom and demand an electronica genre so that your ears can stop bleeding. ;-)

[Reasoner- The Last Flight]

very movie-ish :D

The mood you established here could be used in a variety of themes for various flashes, movies (much more likely :D), or other projects, as such. I just can't see this without a visual..you know what I mean? Well, yeah.
I'm very impressed with the song, it seemed like once you got a hold of what you wanted to accomplish with this piece, it all just came flowing out effortlessly. And when I say effortlessly, I mean the general melody, not the effects or put-together of it all. I don't know if you know what I'm saying^^, but what I mean to say is that sometimes when I make compositions (right now some of them are still unfinished at about 30 secs long T.T), it all just flows out, like I know exactly what I'm going to do. That's why when I look back at some older, unfinished songs, I think: "Wow. That sounds so great, how the hell did I come up with that?"
Yeah.
..Sorry to bore you with my insightful ramblings ^^v
But yeah like I said, I'm very impressed at the easy transitions of the song, except where some effects came in that slightly disturbed it..but it was okay. Just to let you know, I downloaded this because of my urgent emotional-epic-heroic audio needs =D
By the way, did I mention your piano is AWESOME? :O
-Vesta J

Reasoner responds:

I would love to see this song with a visual. Some kind of animation to go along with it would rock! Since I've never animated a thing in my life, though, I'm gonna have to leave that to someone else who happens to stumble onto this song and gets inspired,,maybe,,,,,,,possibly,,,,,,,
,,please!

[MY PET GOAT]

awesomeness :O

i found this in that BBS topic you left a link for..
This is pretty good! Awesome guitar, the bass was kick-ass >:D
The vocals were just a little soft, but overall, I liked it--its catchy.

Haha, the music surprised me after I first saw the title. I was expecting something funky and happy-go-lucky, but this is impressive.
What impressed me the most were the lyrics. After that, I'd say the drums were wild, the bass was..wait...i already described all that. ^^' Well, that's usually what happens when I have so much to say about a song but can't say it right.

Anyway, kudos on a 10! =DD

Thanks :D
